    Excellent video! Ideas... 1) cut a slit on the top of the chopstick and lay the wool yarn across the top in the slit, and 2) if you do not have thick wool like you have in the video, you can use thin wool and braid it until you get the thickness you need.

    I do the same thing but have a wine bottle full of water next to the plant and just have the wick go into the top of the plants. Even outdoors in a subtropical climate it lasts for weeks. It makes keeping thirsty plants like Basil much less trouble.

      Hello, I apologize if the answer is there but I wanted to make sure since English is not my first language,
      Does this method works for basil plant?
      I have a basil plant, I place it outdoor in South facing window, I am not sure if the water from this method would be enough for my basil since I water it 2 times a day usually,

    • @macrumpton
      @macrumpton 2 роки тому +2

      @@FunSoSoToTo It works for my basil, although if the air is too dry the wick can stop working because if part of it dries out it stops working. Also if the bottle is unprotected in the sun algae will grow in the bottle which also can make the wick not work. Cover it in dark paper or aluminum foil unless the bottle is very dark.

      @@macrumpton use kerosene lamp wick, find the one that the rope type wick (some lamps has sock type wick) , it doesn't dry out easily due to sun or wind. Might be rare but I think ppl still made them, but it's not long you might need to use 2 wicks jointed. Thickness is about the tip of kids pinky, sometimes it has a thin copper inside to make it a little stiff and bendable

    You can also use strokes of an old t-shirt (cotton) if you don't have wool - i even once "burried" strokes of cotton fabric in my outdoorplants to keep them alive, as the fabric will stay wet longer than the soil when it rains.

  • @l.b.1952
    @l.b.1952 5 місяців тому

    Perfect - I will try this for my outdoor plants, when away, and even then: the bucket beneath them will refill itself when its raining ^^ and if not, the plants will stay alive from the bucketwater I fill up.

    It's a nice trick, I will definitely use it! Although not all my plants are planted in plastic pots with holes. Some of them have
    hydrogranules at the bottom of a ceramic pot to absorb extra moisture. Do you have some recommendations for this kind of situation where it is not possible to pull a string through the pot as such?

    • @michaelcrumpton6468
      @michaelcrumpton6468 3 роки тому +4

      You can have the wick go over the top of the pot, although dont have the water container too high or it will drain it too fast.
